[2] At paragraph [20] to [22] I highlighted that there was some confusion about the proper name of CFMEUQ. [3] At paragraph [22] I authorised the respective Committees of Management of CFMEUQ, FEDFAQ and QCEUE to amend resolutions they had previously passed concerning the name of the amalgamated organisation to delete any reference to "the" or "The" at the beginning of the organisation's name. I also said at paragraph [23] that upon receipt of advice of the outcome of such consideration I would cause for a short decision to be issued confirming the name of the amalgamated organisation. [4] On 23 April 2013, Hall Payne Lawyers, as the authorised representative of each of CFMEUQ, FEDFAQ and QCEUE, informed me that each Committee of Management of the three organisations had passed the necessary resolutions to confirm the name of the proposed amalgamated industrial organisation to be "Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy, Industrial Union of Employees, Queensland". [5] In those circumstances I now confirm that the name of the amalgamated organisation will be: Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy, Industrial Union of Employees, Queensland.
